They also run themselves ragged having to burn the candle at both ends with training, practice, film study, actual school study, classes and trying to have a normal social life. They're working far beyond a full time job on top of going to this school, while their coaches make anywhere from six-to-seven figures on the backs of their hard work -- not to mention the lack of a penalty when the coach they signed on to play for bolts for a better job because these kids excelled on the field. Great, they get the education, but how many are being shoehorned into false degrees that do nothing for them in the future? This says nothing of the schools committing academic fraud to keep their players on the field. When you're not learning anything because your courses aren't worth a crap, the scholarship money means little. If the coach's' success is worth, collectively as a coaching staff, multi-millions of dollars, how much is the players worth? More than their scholarships.

Alright then, let them pay their own way through college and see how many wish they had their scholarship. You think the Lakers make $48 mil off of Kobe? No, they make way more. You will never make as much as your boss, get over it.
You're only put into these fake classes if you're a pathetic student. Those who work hard and actually go to class like they're suppose to are at an incredible advantage.
The only way players should receive compensation is by selling their own merchandise (used jerseys, signatures etc..). If they are talented enough to cause someone to pay for their signature then there's absolutely no reason that should be outlawed.
